    Sit Down Dining in DL

    Yes, we're doing a WOC package at Wine Country Trattoria. But our DCA dining was super easy to pick, since neither of us are interested in the other two options. I've read good things about Steakhouse 55. We decided to dine at Napa Rose, so Steakhouse 55 will have to wait for a future trip...

    Baxter: "Great and Powerful Plans" for Disneyland

    I do agree that it's a strange answer to that question. Either the question asked was phrased differently that presented on twitter, or he was waiting to shoehorn that phrase wherever it was marginally relevant.

    Park Hours & Whatnot

    Each day's hours come out 6 weeks in advance. I have it marked in my planning notes when 6 weeks is for the first day of our trip :) In the meantime, I've been checking out April's hours, since I figure mid to late April will have similar hours as early May.

    Grand Californian

    It doesn't help the OP, but I was able to book a 1BR at 7 months for early May of this year. It's only a 4 night stay, which may have helped with availability. I was online early the morning our window opened to book it.

    MK Mine Ride Construction Update

    You start with a giant hole in the ground, you have to build the thing on which the artificial landscaping sits. There are companies around the US that specialize in themed rockwork exactly like what is all over New Fantasyland, so the learning curve is not as bad as one might initially think.

    Family claims white rabbit refused to touch kids (Disneyland)

    That is something that surprised me. Are there no such things as character handlers in DL?

    Extra Magic Hour/Radiator Springs Racers Fastpass

    It's been my impression doing research that FP distribution doesn't start until the park officially opens, giving people with EMH access an hour before they can get FP. I'm sure someone else around here can clarify.

    Sit Down Dining in DL

    Right now I'm leaning toward scratching Cafe Orleans off the list. I think I've have my husband read the menu and see his reaction. I'm guessing he'll say he'd rather spend the money somewhere else. Originally Cafe Orleans was my "since we aren't doing Blue Bayou" restaurant. But if we do...

    Sit Down Dining in DL

    I've been working on our trip plans and budget while I wait for park hours to be released for our upcoming trip. We'll be in the parks for 5 full days. Just looking for some general insight and experience with these locations that accept PS- Blue Bayou - I didn't originally want to eat here...

    Rides at Night

    Thanks for all these ideas! It's very helpful to me.

    Rides at Night

    I'm in the midst of planning our first Disneyland trip for this May, and I'm sure will have many more questions in the future. Right now though, I was thinking about putting together a list of attractions that we should try to experience at night. Big Thunder will be down on our trip, and...

    Paid in full

    For most cruises, 75 days in advance is the final payment deadline. 90 days comes into play if you're Castaway Club members and want to book excursions and activities early. You can pay earlier, doubt the TA would turn you down ;)

    Grand Floridian Villas opening?

    If that's the case, I'll eagerly be waiting for point charts so we can see what's feasible for us next spring!

    Grand Floridian Villas opening?

    I've seen 2013 thrown around for GFV opening, but I haven't seen any official sources giving dates. It seems highly unlikely to me that it will be opening this year, especially since they aren't selling points. I looked back at BLT dates, and they started selling about 11-12 months before it...

    Recent price increase <$1?

    I was just requoting some packages I had first quoted two weeks ago, and noticed prices had increased 60 cents. This is for 3 guests traveling in October, so no discounts are involved. I haven't seen or heard of this type of thing before, so just wondering if I've missed some news. ETA- Found...

    Incredible hold times

    Slow system, bad website, new discount, plus one of the most popular times of year to plan a vacation. Essentially, a recipe for long wait times.

    MK Seven Dwarfs Mine Train to open late 2013?

    I feel like this same conversation happened with Mermaid. They should hurry up and get the exterior looking decent, since it's a huge eyesore. But just because the exterior may start looking complete, we shouldn't get hopes up that will be open for trips planned within the next year.

    'Be Our Guest Restaurant' testing new advance online ordering for lunch

    It sounds like our experience of BOG lunch was an anomaly. We ate there November 28th. Got in line at 10:45 and had our food by 11:07. There is plenty of opportunity to see the menu before ordering. We placed our order with a person, which I think sped up the process some compared to those...

    DHS CARS LAND

    The week after Thanksgiving they didn't have participants, but the line was long enough that we had to wait for a full group before us to go. When we've been with the weather in the 30s-40s they didn't have participants, but the weather was pretty nice a few weeks ago. It sounds like they've...

    Funny looks when taking pictures?

    Someone should have warned me that carrying a tripod makes people talk to you about photography and think you're Photopass. The first time someone tried to give me their Photopass card and their kid was standing in front of me already posed and smiling, I wasn't prepared to respond. :)
